A comic strip for Candlemas

Candlemas is also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to custom, the farmers roamed the fields carrying torches to purify the land before sowing. In the fifth century, the pope replaced it with the presentation of Jesus in the temple: the tradition is to make pancakes with the flour of the previous year as a symbol of prosperity. Before doing so, we went to the store to do the shopping with a few students from our year 5.
